    That's what I meant by "backwards publish notification" - the hub would be
notifying the publisher (or third party) of updates to its own content.  It
would work, but sounds backwards.  There would definitely be a lot of overhead
for publishers to implement a scheme like this, and it would require OOB
configuration on the proxy-service's side as well.
